This blog will cover the collision of two cultures - parents and teen children. They don't understand us, and view us as spoilers or walking ATMs (adults with teen malcontents?) We are left wondering what happened to our cute cuddly kids of a few years back, and when they may return. If ever.

Mommy I don't feel good

Even at 16 that phrase still tugs at my heart.

However, my hubby didn't see it that way. He just dismissed it as her staying up too late one night to watch Gossip Girls.

"She's going to flunk her classes if she keeps this up."

Well, no she's not. She's a straight a student and got much better grades that Gary ever did. And if he wants to do the take-her-to-school duty and look in those eyes after she gets up (he's usually out the door just as she's getting out of the shower) he can. Until then, mom has the last say. And she's tivoing Gossip Girls next time.

Alien Nation

About Me (short version)

This blog will chronicle my journey through the tween and early teen years with my middle school daughter. You'll also be reading posts from other parents, who swear their children have been abducted by aliens, and have returned home..different.

A short synopsis of Barbara Clements. I'm a happily married, South King County mom with one daughter, and hope to someday freelance full-time as a writer for National Geographic. But until then, I have a daughter to raise and get through high school, which she'll hopefully leave in four years with a scholarship, my sanity intact and not pregnant.
